Monday, October 20, 2008 11:57 AM CDT Sorry it has taken me so long to update Travis' site.
Travis had a visit to the clinic in July, where he was examined by Dr. M. (who we hadn't seen in one year) and a Dr. L. He was pronounced healthy.
His weight was 58.2 kg (128.4 lbs) and his height was 5'11 1/2". He was told to come back in three months. His counts on that visit were:
WBC 5.64
NEUT 3.02
HGB 16.7
PLT 199
Fast forward to October 14. Travis was examined by Dr. A. His weight was 62.1 kg (136.6 lbs.) and he has finally grown to 6' :) He was examined
and pronounced healthy :) His counts from this visit are:
WBC 5.41
NEUT 2.60
HGB 17
PLT 223
He was "graduated" from the clinic. He will be attending the new "Long Term Survivor Clinic" that has been started. It is a more comprehensive
checkup, where they are going to be keeping an eye on possible long term effects of the chemo he has had. It will be a more "team" oriented
checkup. He was told he would do this once a year. I will update after that visit. I will not be able to schedule it until mid November. I am shooting
for February 2009.
Please remember to donate blood. Here in Michigan we are experiencing a shortage. You can save three people with one donation.
